Satire hurts, baby.

You can only be pedantic is there's something to be right about. And you were just straight up, embarrassingly wrong.

But it's the religion of peace and these guys aren't REAL Muslims anyway and the more evidence that arises showing how utterly incompatible with liberalism Islam is the more I'll double down on my denial!!111 I'll be sure to use accusations of colonialism, islamophobia and the worst accusation ever, WHITE WESTERN

I didn't say the wives of slaveowners. I explicitly said POOR white women.

While white women, were sipping tea and leading sheltered/pampered lives, we black women worked alongside our men in the fields during slavery.

That part made me roll my eyes. It seems like a specious distinction.

Oh, definitely is. I hate those people. Humans can choose not to eat meat and for most people, barring those with certain health conditions, you can be very healthy and happy, but animals like cats and dogs aren't vegetarian and didn't evolve to be omnivorous. It's like, how dumb are you?

Those are a minority of vegetarians, and also probably the people who switch over because it's trendy. In my experience, people who are vegetarian are *generally* much more informed about animals and animal welfare than new vegetarians or meat eaters. E.g., if you've been a vegetarian for several years. People who are

If anything she's probably an avid meat eater. All the vegetarians I know would assume this is just natural animal prey-predator behavior. Part of vegetarianism is not fucking up animals.

Says the person who doesn't understand basic statistics and logic. You keep on doin' you.

And if it were American athletes, as a group, under discussion, I'd be saying that there's a culture of violent homophobia, entitlement, and misogyny, but they're not under discussion here. What I do notice is several people using the accusation of racism as a shield to deflect legitimate criticism of the way Indian

Are you dumb? I specifically referred to the *logic* of generalizations, and the fact that in many cases, they are quantifiable. Since you're struggling with basic logic here, there's literally no point in my trying to engage with you. I never said all Indian men are rapists or misogynistic, nor would I ever say that,

It's not that. It's the hand-wringing over hypothetical and the reluctance to accept that this guy got his done. What I'm saying is: there shouldn't be any reservations over the egging. It was justice.

Ah, see, but I didn't say that I had statistics in the case, although the sheer and overwhelming number of brutal gang rapes, rapes of extremely young girls (ages 3-10) and blatantly misogynistic statements point to a clear pattern . What I said was the underlying logic for generalizations is correct, and you missed

Oh my god, I can't even. This is hilarious. Sweden, e.g., has some of the highest rape rates because reporting is MUCH higher than an India and there laws about what constitute sexual assault are more broad. Same with all the countries listed. This is common freaking sense.

Not even close.

Oh my god, get over it. That dude deserved it, and the worst permanent damage would have been merely aesthetic - it's not like it would functionally damage the car. I cannot believe people are defending this asshole, "well, gosh golly gee wilkers, we don't want to extract any revenge that might meaningful!" I

Funnily enough, I can, and we do this all this time, often with the aid of statistics. Crazy, right? Ex: "White people are racist." I know there's no way you don't agree with this statement, and if you agree with this statement, then you have to accept that generalizations, as a category, can be true. Go back to

This is a really important point, but it does sound a little like you're shifting the blame for India's misogyny (and classism and colorism) which go way, way back and precede colonialism to the West.

Thanks - it drives me so crazy!
